Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.

Didn't Zohran sit out the 24 election? Didn't he just cut a billion dollars from education and housing? That's a no from me.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will cut school and homeless programs to balance budget
Less than a year after his election, Mamdani is moving to implement austerity to meet the legal requirements of a budget “balanced” on behalf of the bond markets and the financial aristocracy.

@HakeemG @BruceMirken @QasimRashid Completely false. $4 billion in capital for affordable housing, $500 million for NYCHA renovations. His final $124.7B budget increases overall education and homeless services spending via new taxes and $8B state aid. The $12 billion deficit is gone.
Getting it done instead of talking a lot which some 'Democrats' like Hakeem Jeffries do. I think even holds the record lol.

Considering how the profits that corporations make are subsidized by the governments who pay the difference between minimum wage and a living wage, they've been looting the governments' (and thus the people's) coffers a very, very long time.
Taxing the rich isn't turning that equitable, it's just reducing how much they're allowed to continue to steal. By some minor amount.
Neoliberal capitalism has turned the economical motions in current society into a monstrosity. The current winner takes all mentality is simply not just and not sustainable. A few of the ultrarich are sucking up wealths that could be used to feed, educate and cure the masses indefinitely, and they are by not giving back refusing to take action, This is unsustainable, unethical and immoral and yes it is criminal.

This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.

Nice spin, yes he is increasing education spending, but by less than planned and he is delaying mandated state reductions in class sizes.
“It’s a classic example of a political promise made and a promise broken and really a betrayal of the homeless and unhoused community in New York who took him at his word,” said Christine Quinn, president and CEO of WIN, the city’s largest shelter provider.
Mamdani pledged affordable New York housing in his campaign. How is that going?

The correct reply to “ taxing billionaires is equal to hate speech” is to double the tax every time they open their mouths. We can do this all day until we get to a 90 or 95% marginal tax rate for people like him.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell that still leaves them $50 million, we need to go to an uncapped tax and they can only keep the same as the workers make
flip the script

Fundamentally wealth must be taxed much more than work. I would like to suggest work should not be taxed at all.
And I didn’t say when the 95% marginal rate started either, did I?

Nobody posted that here. I heard that people on the right are trying to push this.
And I have my reply to them. Please I really do want them to keep saying it so we can keep doubling the tax rate.

Are the Guardian and Gothamist trolls too, because they said the same thing. Are you suggesting Mamdani didn't cut housing and education funding?

@QasimRashid Curiously fining Amazon delivery trucks reminds me of a story I heard about the Stoneman Meadow Riots in Yosmite in 1970. There was a guy - Berkeley grad student as I recall - who was working as a ranger over the summer. At one point the FBI parked cars illegally as part of a crackdown. He grinned and said, "I've never written a ticket before!" and proceeded to ticket the FBI. No idea of how accurate it is, but that is funny.
